And the idiot Danica is trying to defend LeClerc

Not really, she was just saying that road rage tends to build and something probably happened prior to that to make CLC act like that. So in a way, she's actually suggesting that she also thinks he was in the wrong. That's the way I viewed what she says.

I don't think we've seen enough camera angles to understand that, LN was definitely pulling right but Leclerc had loads of room

I wonder if either Lewis or Lando's car have been damaged by those impacts?

Hopefully not. Would be fun it they said Stroll has to complete the weekend with the self inflicted damage on his car as a penalty though

With his driving ability he wouldn't notice

Definitely were.

If so, that's a pisser - I've been looking forward to quali here.

I missed FP3 but it sounds like it was amateur hour for half of the grid.

I hope the punishments are suitably harsh.

I’m going with a ten place grid penalty for both Stroll and LeClerc plus points on their licence. Uncharacteristic of LeClerc but no less stupid. I’m less surprised about the Nepobaby.

So, Stroll has to start in thirtieth place?

Can anyone remember what penalty Vettel got for his Hamilton shenanigans at Baku?

Brilliant!

10 second stop-go iirc. Can’t remember what else he may have got.

10 second stop and go penalty.

It was a 10s Stop/Go, the highest penalty available short of a black flag.

Far to lenient, use your car intentionally as a battering ram, should be instant black flag.

It probably should have been black flag. He literally, deliberately, drove into Lewis a second time AFTER complaining the first contact was due to brake testing.

Although for some reason I always enjoyed sebs ridiculous strops - mostly his refusal to believe he did anything wrong after the event. Like that time he crashed on the cool down lap and tried to blame someone else for taking the wrong line

Deliberately running into another car would seem like the worse offence you can commit during a race. I don’t think doing it at slow speed is much of a mitigating factor.

It shows intent to deliberately cause damage to a competitors car. The book should be thrown at them.

Back in the 80's they would have been kicked out of the event for that.

^ This. No messing.

What an idiotic move from CLC.

As a long time Ferrari supporter, I’ve lost my patience with him. Too many mistakes and poor performances without doing stupid things like this.

On top of another mediocre season from Ferrari.

I’ve doubted whether he has that top end champion ability and this doesn’t help his case.

It was so out of character for him is what I can’t understand. Very odd behaviour.

Stroll on the other hand - nothing surprises me with that imbecile.
